The store, set to open Friday, is the latest addition to The Shops at Kenilworth and another step toward the completion of a full renovation of the shopping center.

“I want to welcome everyone to our new space, and we just really are excited to embrace the neighborhood and be a part of our new experience here,” Trader Joe’s manager Connie Prigg said.

Workers are getting the store ready for the big opening on Friday. The store moved from its previous Towson location on Joppa Road.

“We believe this is a great opportunity for us to provide ample parking for our customers in this space,” Prigg said. “We have additional registers, wider aisles and just more opportunity to stock more of everyone's favorite products.”

Trader Joe’s is the latest store to open at The Shops at Kenilworth, thanks in part to a $20 million renovation project at the shopping center.

“It's been a great community center for many years, and the renovation we think is to bring it up to what, we think, is a more contemporary shopping experience -- both the interior and exterior and new (tennants) as well,” Tom Fitzpatrick of developer Greenberg Gibbons said.

The Trader Joe’s opening will complete the second phase of the three-phase redevelopment project. The Shops at Kenilworth will also add new escalators, stairways, painting and lights, as well as an upgrade to the outside of the building.

“Our finished product, we hope, is the best of Baltimore both local and regional tenants we can attract here,” Fitzpatrick said.
